your funhouse mirror through a cloudy lens view of the world is endlessly entertaining-

Odd, I was under the impression you weren't having any fun. Maybe it's Pinker's hair that put you in the carnival mood.

I don't think a charge of distortion or fuzzy thinking is exactly accurate. Though I am rather inclined to acknowledge the limits of human reasoning and knowledge. Perhaps its the insistence on real standards of skepticism instead of a pre-ordained program of attitudes and assumptions, not to mention platitudes, that causes the misunderstanding.

You know, I have been accused of being too nit-picky on atheist-skeptic blogs in the past.
